Thread Name: BS: Alternative to Science??
Subject: RE: BS: Alternative to Science??
As for married batchelors, well I'm one (BSc in Electrical Engineering if you must know), so the answer to where they live is here. Hey, you say, you changed the meaning of "batchelor" from the one in the question... no I didn't- ******* (or more likely the writer of the book ******* cribbed it from) had a particular meaning for the word in mind when the question was posed, which wasn't stated. In the case of the bookwriter, probably deliberately and dishonestly, in *******'s case through simplicity (as in sancta simplicitas).

And likewise with the transcendent God- the easy slip between the as-yet-unknown flaw in quantum symmetry that (?) caused the big bang being decribed metaphorically as "creator" and the equation of the same with Big Beardie In The Sky Who Doesn't Want You To Poke Your Whatsit Up Other Folks' Wheresits.

Which rather brings us back to the original topic of the thread, back when the world was young. There is an alternative to science- stop thinking, shut up and believe what the minister tells you.
